Xero Gravity

I'm likely to be night killed in International Mafia, so sign me up (Y)

Not surprisingly for me, the FF series are the ones I've got my money's worth out of the most. Collectively I've spent thousands of hours playing them, and to this day I can still pick any one of them up and happily play it again.

I'd been a firm Sony supporter for years, but it's stuff like this that makes me look at my 360 and smile.

Eh, might get lucky so I'll throw my name into this.

It's been a long time coming, but it's nice to see Nitro is finally here. I'll try and keep this brief, instead of running down the whole thing from top to bottom.

I was never a huge fan of the nWo to be honest, but that was mainly due to not getting WCW over here until near it's death. However, your portrayal of the nWo has been great up to this point. The who angles throughout the night with the group have been top notch. I've always had a soft spot for Norton, so it was nice to see him involved in them as much as he has. On the same note, I'm all for the group being downsized, as everyone knows one of the things that ruined the nWo was the sheer size of it's number. I still don't really enjoy Hogan as champion, but I'm learning to deal with it as I know there's a good chance he's not gonna be on top for very long.

It's been said a few times, but I might as well say it again. A lot of the matches were simply filler, but some of them at least had a story to carry it. It's always good to see the Rising Sons win a match, and adding a little history to the mix with Cornette and Bulldog was a nice touch. I think I agree with JStarr in that I doubt he'll take up Corny's offer, but maybe somwhere down the line he might. I'd have despised the Iukea/Glacier match if not for the little "your soul is mine" bit...however I fully expect Shang Tsung to show up and steal Glacier's soul now

I'm still the only one who gives a crap about the Karagias/Hennig feud, so it's nice to see it's carrying on for a little while longer. I know Hennig's onto better things once this is over, so I just hope that Karagias doesn't just slip into the shadows once it's done and dusted.

I'm a big, big mark for Christian in all his forms. An arrogant moive star...well it just fits him like a glove. I honestly can't wait to see what you do with him. I just hope you bring in Test as his bodyguard, because that would rock so much.

Finally, the Horsemen angle overshadowed the whole show...which is a good thing. McMichael being beaten down like the piece of garbage he is...well it's a thing of beauty. I've despised a lot of people over the years, but very few have been up at Mongo's level. As for the rest, well it was perfect really. Anderson's promo, Flair's promo, the unveiling of Malenko and Jericho, Douglas' sneak attack...it couldn't have been better in my eyes. Now we get the possibility of old school Vs. new school, and I echo JStarr's idea about a Wargames match featuring these guys.

Okay...I promised to drop a reply once I got my shit sorted, and here I am. Instead of running through every show, I'll try and condense it all into one post.

For starters, I'm a huge HUGE Foley mark so him being central to the diary for the time being is something that's really gonna keep me coming back and reading more. At first I was a little indifferent to him coming back as a heel, but I've really warmed up to the idea over the past several shows. He and the Rock have an obvious chemistry in the ring, and I'm hoping to see it continue one for quite some time. Speaking of the title, I loved the system you used to whittle down the contenders for the Backlash main event. Although I was surprised to see guys like Show, Jericho, and Tazz go out as early as they did.

The under card is packed at the moment, and you've got infinite possibilities for who to try and push up the card. Austin and Taker's returns will help bolster the main event, and I'm glad to see you're not just going to throw them straight back into the title picture. On Austin, it'll be interesting to see if you go a different route with who ran him over. To say Rikishi being the culprit was a let down would be a huge understatment. This has a lot of potential to be a nice strong feud if the right guy is put behind the driver's seat.

As for the whole DiBiase thing, well I for one like it. I mean sure, in real life he may have already left wrestling but that's half the fun of writing retro diaries. It may take a little time, but I can see him fitting into his role as commissioner eventually.

One of the only things I would change is the colour for heat. On the orangeness skin, it's a little hard to read. Other than that, I like the format you've been using up to this point.

No doubt I'll be back again soon (Y)

I usually don't give a toss about these, but I was really happy to see Forest Whitaker and Hugh Laurie win awards.

Trezeguet.

I'm in, and it's X.

Any way to get an Mp3 of their response? I love it! :lmao:

If you want, I can join another 2-3 times and you can just give me more roles

Yeah, I'm in too.

Yeah, I might as well join in (Y)

Now give me Pennywise

I was playing Sonic on my 360 earlier today, and remembered the question I always wanted to know...why the hell did they fuck up Dr. Robotnik? A lot of my fondest memories videogame wise were beating that rotund swine, and now he's tall, a lot thinner, doesn't have a comically shaped head, and given an even worse name. Eggman pales in comparison to the "real" Robotnik, and I honestly don't understand why they'd change something that was perfectly fine the way it was.

I enjoyed MGS Mafia...for the entire 10 seconds I was a part of it, so count me in (Y)

Yeah, why not?

In.

I fondly remember playing Thrill Kill, especially as the midget on stilts and the queer redneck cannibal.

So...a little birdie told me someone's been cheating

I actually started playing again a few days ago, so yeah you can count me in for this. I only just got passed the second reactor mission, so I'm not too far into things yet.

Anywhere you want, they don't have to be in any part of the EWR folder. As long as both programs are running at the same time it should work.

Yeah Norro, you should be more like thug. He knows loyalty.

So I actually got through reading this a few days ago, but only just got round to replying.

Smart idea to trot the cruiserweights out first and warm up the crowd a bit with their high flying antics. I don't really have a problem with how it ended, as I didn't watch WCW a whole lot and therefore didn't see the whole Malenko angle. I did like Chavo winning, but truth be told I didn't mind who won as long as it wasn't Kidman

I know we talked a lot about how the Iron Challenge was going to end, but I never knew it would only go to one fall. It did really look like nothing more than Booker being put over Benoit, but I know he's got something coming up later so it souldn't be bad for too long.

It's been said many, many times before, but Jericho's promos are a true highlight of this diary. Tonight's was no different in that respect.

I know I said it on msn, but I'll say it again here. The 3 Vs. 2 handicap match was the one I hated the most in the lead up to the show. While it turned out to be every bit of crap I expected, the way you wrote it actually had me enjoying it to a degree. That's how well you wrote it.

Jericho Vs. Chavo was probably the best outcome I could have liked to see. So it was nice to read a match that translated into the kind of contest that they could both have. As soon as Malenko showed up, I kinda figured that things weren't going to go well for poor Chavito. The prospect of him being a heel is great, and being partnered with Jericho could be even better. Eddie making the save was interesting, and a tag match between the pairs could be awesome.

Bret Hart didn't win best character in a diary for nothing. Once again he brings the goods ahead of the title match later in the night.

You didn't dissapoint with the Rising Sons going over Neidhart and Bulldog. I loved playing up Neidhart's rediculous run in with the anvil not too long ago. Even moreso was the idea to pair up the Sons with Cornette. If anything says they're gonna get a serious shake at the tag titles is a guy like Corny backing them up. Roll on Hall and Nash.

I didn't want to accept it, but I knew there wasn't a chance in hell that DDP and Goldy weren't going over Raven and Saturn. I'd have liked to see Perry be the one to take the fall as he has less going for him than Raven does. I was really hoping for someone like Stevie or Tommy being the one to interfere so I was a little let down with Mortis. I knew Benoit was gonna get involved afterwards, so I'm looking forward to his dealings with Page in the future.

The second least interesting match to me was this tag title match, but unlike the handicap I still wasn't overly keen on it. There was nothing wrong with it writing was, but I just could get into it for whatever reason. I think I agree with the number of turns diluting this one somewhat, and it lost a lot of it's impact.

Nice Hogan promo, but I'll agree with Szumi...what a tool

The entrances were a real foreshadowing of what was to come. I really didn't want to see it happen, but in the long run I guess it does make sense for Hogan to walk out with the belt. Hart taking it off him at a higher profile event will have a hell of a lot more to it than picking up the win here tonight. Hopefully Savage doesn't fall too far off the radar, as I'm sure there's still a place of him even if it's being used to put over up and comers.

All in all, it was an epic read but one I enjoyed nonetheless. A few results that went a way I didn't like all that much, but it's bound to happen every once in a while.

If Doom inspires people to murder, I should be the most notorious killer of all time

Watership Down.

End of.
